LOOK CLOSELY...

...there's a Stinky Bob Geranium in there! (Click to enlarge if necessary.)
Seriously!
Thanks to Darice and Mark Dixon, http://wildflowerswest.org/ I was able to distinguish a Stinky Bob from a Richrdson's!

MY SISTER'S GARDEN...

...or Patrons of the Arts R Us. "Sunset Magazine" has yet to discover my sister's garden, but I do have a call into them!
Bailey (as in Bailey's Irish Cream) is just a sweet "lurker."
These guys are out of reach and have nothing to fear.
Spots of purple and yellow announce fealty to U-DUB, her alma mater!
Little blue birds of happiness found ideal perches on previously-used golf clubs!
Sadly, in late May and June, following incessant rain, puddles were bright with floating petals from clobbered peonies, azaleas and dozens of spring plantings...
...but the birds had guaranteed crisp, cool bathing water!
Yes, she's fond of chickens. What gave you your first clue?!!
